COMMON FIXED POINT OF WEAKLY COMPATIBLE MAPPINGS UNDER A NEW PROPERTY IN FUZZY METRIC SPACES
Rajinder Sharma Department of General Requirements (Mathematics Section) College of Applied Sciences, Sohar, Sultanate of Oman E-mail : rajind.math@gmail.com Abstract: In this paper, we prove some common fixed point theorems for weakly compatible mappings under a new property in fuzzy metric spaces. We prove a new result under (S-B) property defined by Sharma and Bamboria. Keywords: Fixed point; Fuzzy metric space; (S-B) property.

Introduction:
The foundation of fuzzy mathematics was laid down by Zadeh [25] with the evolution of the concept of fuzzy sets in 1965. The proven result becomes an asset for an applied mathematician due to its enormous applications in various branches of mathematics which includes differential equations, integral equation etc. and other areas of science involving mathematics especially in logic programming and electronic

engineering. It was developed extensively by many authors and used in various fields. Especially, Deng [7], Erceg [8], and Kramosil and Michalek [17] have introduced the concepts of fuzzy metric spaces in different ways. To use this concept in topology and analysis, several researchers have studied fixed point theory in fuzzy metric spaces and fuzzy mappings [2],[3],[4],[5], [10],[14], [15] and many others. Recently, George and Veeramani [12],[13] modified the concept of fuzzy metric spaces introduced by Kramosil and Michalek and defined the Hausdoff topology of fuzzy metric spaces. They

showed also that every metric induces a fuzzy metric.Grabiec [11] extended the well known fixed point theorem of Banach [1] and Edelstein [9] to fuzzy metric spaces in the sense of Kramosil and Michalek

[15].Moreover, it appears that the study of Kramosil and Michalek [17] of fuzzy metric spaces paves the way for developing a soothing machinery in the field of fixed point theorems in particular,

for the study of contractive type maps. In this paper we prove a new result under (S-B) property defined by Sharma and Bamboria [22].
